2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200]
DANGER !
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.
Vapor may cause flash fire. May form explosive mixtures with air.
May be fatal if inhaled or swallowed.
Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Causes skin, eye and respiratory tract irritation.
Overexposure may cause adverse effects to the central nervous system, reproductive
system and cardiovascular system.
Appearance and odor: clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid with an ether-like to slightly disagreeable sulfur
odor.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: This product is a highly flammable material. Under fire conditions, this product will
give off toxic and flammable vapor, which may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Carbon disulfide
forms explosive vapor/air mixtures over a wide vapor concentration range.
Chronic Exposure: Studies have reported adverse (harmful) effects on the central and peripheral nervous
systems and blood vessels. Exposure to carbon disulfide also carries a possible risk of impaired fertility and
harm to the unborn child.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, ACGIH and OSHA do not classify this material or its components as a
carcinogen or suspect carcinogen.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Persons with pre-existing conditions related to central and
peripheral nervous systems, eyes, cardiovascular system, kidneys, liver and alcoholism.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of cool potable running water for at least 20 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing, shoes and equipment. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents.
Obtain medical advice immediately. Wash contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse or discard.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, rinse mouth and give several glasses of
water to drink. Call a physician or a poison control center immediately. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips
to reduce risk of aspiration. Give fluids again. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious or
convulsing.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray and/or foam to extinguish and cool fire and surroundings.
Fire Fighting Procedures: As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of
combustion. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from the fire area. Stay upwind. Fire fighters should wear full-
face, self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious, fire resistant, protective clothing, gloves and boots. If
possible, move containers from the fire area. If not leaking, keep fire exposed containers cool with a water fog or
spray to prevent rupture due to excessive heat. High pressure water may spread product from broken containers
increasing contamination or fire hazard. If you do not have a continuous source of water, do not attempt to fight
a major fire.
Large carbon disulfide fires are best extinguished by completely blanketing the fire area with water spray, fog or
foam. This will help prevent possible re-ignition of the product. Continue application of the water spray/fog until
the fire area is completely cooled off. Do not walk through water-covered pools of carbon disulfide.
Contaminated buildings, areas and equipment must not be used until they are properly decontaminated. Dike
fire control water for later disposal. Do not allow contaminated water to enter waterways.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: This product is a highly flammable material. Under fire conditions, this product will
give off toxic and flammable vapors, which may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Carbon disulfide
forms explosive vapor/air mixtures over a wide vapor concentration range.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition products include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and sulfur oxides. Carbon oxide sulfide may also be produced.
NOTE The following CERCLA Section 103 reportable quantity applies to this product: RQ = 100 lb (45.4 kg)
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Section 304 requires that any release equal to or
greater than the reportable quantity established for that substance be immediately reported to the local
emergency planning committee and the State Emergency Response Commission. If the release of a substance
is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, the National Response Center must be notified immediately.
Storage: Store away from foodstuffs or animal feed. Exercise due caution to prevent damage to or leakage
from the container. Firefighting equipment should be immediately available. Protect against lightning and static
electricity. Electrical installations and heating facilities should not be permitted in or near storage areas.

BEI: On January 30, 2009, ACGIH ratified the Biological Exposure Index (BEI) for carbon disulfide. The sampling
time is End of shift, the BEI = 0.5 mg/g creatinine with notations of Ns (nonspecific) and B (background).

NIOSH: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
OSHA: Occupational Safety and Health Administration
IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life & Health) Concentration for Carbon Disulfide: 500 ppm
Other Protection General Hygiene Considerations: Safety showers, with quick opening valves, which stay
open, and eyewash fountains, or other means of washing the eyes with a gentle flow of cool to tepid tap water,
should be readily available in all areas where this material is handled or stored. Water should be supplied
through insulated and heat-traced lines to prevent freeze-up in cold weather. Long sleeved clothing, such as
NomexTM IIIA may be used to minimize skin contact. All food and smoking materials should be kept in a
separate area away from the storage/use location. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas
where there is a potential for significant exposure to this material. Before eating, drinking and smoking, hands
and face should be thoroughly washed.
Incompatibilities / Conditions to avoid: This product reacts incandescently with chemically active metals such
as aluminum, zinc, sodium and potassium. Contact with azides and inorganic acids can be explosive. Carbon
disulfide is incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Avoid contact with sources of heat and
flame.
Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization is not expected to occur under normal temperatures and pressures.
Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions, the product supports combustion decomposes to give off toxic
materials such as carbons oxides and sulfur oxides. Carbonyl sulfide may also be produced.
SKIN
Acute contact: Dermal toxicity (LD50) is not available for this product. Carbon disulfide can cause skin irritation.
Splashes on the skin may cause blistering. This product is readily absorbed through the skin resulting in nerve
damage near the site of absorption. Symptoms are similar to those for inhalation.
Chronic contact: Prolonged or repeated contact can cause loss of skin oils resulting in dry and scaly skin.
Moderate skin irritation can occur.
EYES: Eye contact may cause severe irritation. Eye contact may cause permanent damage if not flushed out
immediately.
INGESTION
Acute exposure: The oral LD50 for this product is greater than 2000 mg/kg (rat).
Chronic exposure: No data available.
CARCINOGENICITY: IARC, NTP, ACGIH and OSHA do not classify this material or its components as a
carcinogen or suspect carcinogen.
MUTAGENICITY: Carbon disulfide did not produce an increase in chromosomal aberrations in an inhalation in
vivo mouse micronucleus assay. It was not mutagenic in the Ames test.
NEUROTOXICITY: Prolonged or repeated exposure to high levels of carbon disulfide can cause effects to the
central and peripheral nervous systems (decrease in conduction velocity).
OTHER TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS: Several studies have indicated an increased risk of coronary heart
disease from exposure to carbon disulfide. In addition, effects on blood pressure and cholesterol levels have
been reported in some epidemiology studies.
TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central and peripheral nervous systems, cardiovascular
system and reproductive system.
Biodegradation: Carbon disulfide is readily biodegradable (80% in 28 days / Closed Bottle Test).
Container Disposal: Containers should be drained and cleaned of residual product before disposal. Do not
contaminate public waters with waste or rinsate. Empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with all
applicable laws and regulations. Contact Akzo Nobel Functional Chemicals LLC for guidance.
